There's a physical law that says it's impossible to reach this temperature. Is there a ceiling on the other end of the scale, preventing us from dying a different death?

According to the Wikipedia article on the timeline of the Big Bang, the temperature of the universe at the time of the Electroweak epoch (10^-36 to 10^-12 seconds) was about 10^28K. That should be enough to vapoprize just about everything.
